I hate when the center-left political class talks about dropping the woke stuff. First of all, you lot were never carrying it. Secondly, YOU’RE asking for MY support. So it kinda feels like I can care about whatever I care about.

Kudos to WaPo’s graphics dept for rendering that ballroom as the eyesore it is. 🔥

You don't need to burn books or libraries to create the next dark ages.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

My friend’s neighbor’s house fell off its foundation (old steel structure collapsed), and they just did the funniest thing.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Unreal

It had to be a little disheartening to John Oliver that when Disney was doing that Lion King remake he was such an obvious Zazu that there’s literally no one else it could have been. He probably just picked up the phone going “this is about Zazu isn’t it?”

South Korea pushed AI hard in schools. The national program was aborted within months, following massive pushback from students, parents and teachers, after a fortune had already been spent by both the government and education publishers restofworld.org/2025/south-k...

the amount of time conservatives spend thinking about childrens genitals is legit crazy

I can't quote the post I just shared, but I can say this. 1) Obviously, that teacher used AI and didn't bother to check the spelling. 2) Some school districts are suggesting teachers incorporate AI into their classes. I wouldn't be shocked if some are pushing it more than others. (cont.)

kids teacher just sent this home as part of an assignment he's doing and i want to smash every computer at the school

Twins managerial thoughts: I wonder if they're going to go with someone with no managerial experience because they'd be cheaper and the team will likely be bad for a few years. (I also think this means they're interested in a minority candidate.)

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

This is not just funny, it's smart. We need more of this mockery that shows these thugs that we see their despicable fascism and give them the respect that they deserve.

The 2024 media failures, from “fact checks” to active disinterest in Trump lies, to … everything is infuriating. When people say “I didn’t vote for this” sometimes I believe them, because the media whitewashed a TON of Trump’s more distasteful positions and statements.

Mark that double play on your Twingo card!

the greatest moment in tic tac toe history

John Smoltz just watched Joe Davis cut a turkey with so much contempt.

Printer's broken, no wifi.

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.” Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

15 years of every C suite going “we need to fire the skilled workers and do more internet” and this is how every business works now.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7." @timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized
